Hey everyone, i am looking for some suggestions for an upgrade i will be doing this coming week. Let me first explain that i am very out of touch with the hardware world of the last few years, hence the need for some good advice!
Here is my current system just for laughs :/
AMD A64 3200+
Asus A8V MB
1 GB Crucial DDR
128 mb 9800 PRO
Now first things first, i am not a hardcore gamer and i don't mind playing games without all the bells and whistles, so i have decided i'll probably get a 8600GT for the gfx card. Performance is not great i realise, but the price is good and it should be a noticable upgrade on my 9800PRO.
As for CPU/MB/RAM i am a little confused. I have around £300 to spend on these 3 items, here is what i have come up with so far:
Does that look like an ok mid-range setup, or are there any better setups people could suggest for around the same price?
TIA for any help!
